A weak handicap but Petite Ganache has a shout on his placed efforts earlier in the year and Chanceanotherfive found only one too good over track and trip back in March. Samtu slips further down the weights reverting to the smaller obstacles but another chance goes to GRAND ENTERPRISE. Well beaten in testing ground at Newcastle recently, Henry Hogarth’s charge had earlier finished clear of the rest when runner-up at Carlisle and looks to have an easier task in this company back over 3m on a more suitable surface.
